L One: HISTORICAL ANTECEDENTS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND OUR SOCIETY

SCIENCE and TECHNOLOGY have long existed since ancient times. These advances in the history of technology stimulated SOCIETIES to adopt new ways of living and governance.

Science drives the discovery and understanding of natural phenomena, leading to the development of technology, which makes a society improve and prosper.

Our society right now is the result of discoveries and technology developed in the past.

HISTORICAL ANTECEDENTS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

Historical antecedent refers to an event in history that existed or happened before, especially as the cause or origin of something that came later.

A smartphone cannot exist without the first telephone.

A high-rise building in the city cannot exist without the invention of the first brick.

Therefore, it is important to look back at the Science and Technology of our past in order for us to understand and appreciate what we have right now in our modern society.
